5G has at least 10 times the speed of 4G, millisecond transmission delay and super high-density connectivity. The in-depth integration of 5G and Ultra high definition video, VR/AR, smart home, smart city, Internet of Things and intelligent manufacturing will bring new growth opportunities to all industries.
